News in a day

Good day, fellow human beans! This is astrknot reporting for Blah Blah Blah... Today, yesterday, and the day before...

1. Top executives living in Conneticut, USA are being stalked. They consist of executives who worked for AIG (the company that recently went bankrupt). So people in that area are not happy with them and want to voice their woes directly to them. Bus protests were organised and those executives were advised to go out in pairs, don't go out at night etc. Most of them live in Wilton, Fairfield County in Connecticut. This impacted me because it's where I used to live when dad was posted to USA to work years ago. It made me think of how much times have changed, where a once peaceful neighbourhood could become so scary after a financial crisis. I remember that it was quite safe around that area, but now, it's a terrorizing place.

Next,

2. WWW (World Wide Web) turned 20 yesterday. It's amazing how much the internet has changed our lives. Thanks to the WWW, you can see my post now, and I can type this with confidence that it will land somewhere. But of course while the genius invention of the WWW by some software scientists has made recieving information so much easier for every one, some things like cyber bullying and copyright issues still exist. Globalisation.

Moving on,

3. Scientists have found a way to read minds by looking at brain activity (like measuring bllod flow etc). That means they can read our memories. This is useful for ageing people like me who forget things easily (no, jk). It's useful for researching on Alzheimer's disease cus the folks tend to forget their past. It's also useful for interogating suspects. While it's going to take a while before we can use that technology to read anyone's mind very fast, it will eventually happen and the world is going to face more ethical problems. Private life can be intruded and how much should we read? But somehow after reading this, I think the bible is very true in what says is going to happen when the world is ending and Jesus is coming. What are christians doing about it?

Lastly,

4. A random article on 25 random things about Singapore youth.

I think it is a good reflection of me, and fellow youth. Couldn't help but feel guilty yet proud while reading this.

On a sad note, school is continuing in 2 days. I can't wait for the next holiday. But that means I have to face MYE first.

Never give up, even when things are looking hopeless

That's all, folks. This has been Astroknot reporting for 3Blah .. Good bye.
